Titchfield Common Storm Damage Roof Report

How a storm damage roof report works in Titchfield Common
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about broken or displaced guttering and slates and tiles blown off the roof.
In older homes around places like Titchfield Common, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Finding where it gets in, and whether it is old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are frequently the first clue.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Storm damage roof reports around Titchfield Common
Titchfield Common is within about 2 miles of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Strong wind lifts anything already loose, and driving rain gets in wherever it can, while salt slowly corrodes metal fixings and flashings. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St John, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you run a business near Fareham Shopping Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.
Titchfield Common is about 3 miles west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in Titchfield Common, we can come and survey your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Titchfield Common is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work. You can also see our page for Southampton.

Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building.

Advice
Common roof problems in Titchfield Common
Landlords and building managers frequently need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
Take a building like St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Before booking anyone
- What experience they bring
- What insurance they carry
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Will the report include photos?
Roof by roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. We photograph and describe the damage.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are frequently where flat roof coverings start to peel back. The report notes signs of recent damage and older wear.

What else we do in Titchfield Common
What happens if roof problems are left?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is usually better. With lower homes, common in places like Titchfield Common, there’s little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.

FAQs for Titchfield Common
Is Titchfield Common within the area you cover?
Yes, Titchfield Common is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is the coastal weather around Titchfield Common hard on roofs?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows, and Titchfield Common is within about 2 miles of the coast.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Titchfield Common?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when booking.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
